fwiw this is how CBS describes the Noodle task ..not that it makes a difference. "Good Doing Business With You" -- Teams perform Detour "Compete" ( Dragon "incomplete") in which they must make 2 bundles of noodles by hand before the machine produces 200 bundles in order to receive their next clue.

Phil never says that in the description and also calls the task "noodles"

I guess when they reviewed the footage they knew they had comedy gold and cut something. Or maybe not--because we never had any inkling from the teams that they were racing a machine...so maybe they changed it during the test-out-the-task phase?

Making notes to ask somebody at TARcon...

Plus the fish task is just a few miles away from the Pit Stop. With no change in clothes and looking roughly the same type of weather and the same basic time of day. It really only fits with it occuring in the last episode. But the task and drving (with proper navigation probably took less then an hour total.
